"The Washington Post on Monday explained why it did not publish a story about a sexual assault allegation against Democratic Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax when the accuser first told the paper about it in Nov. 2017 and again in Jan. 2018, and the response raises questions about how the organization covered allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh."

"Media outlets bent over backwards Tuesday night to fact check President Trump’s State of the Union address — but were accused of reaching with a string a rapid-response tweets and other analysis that came off as nitpicking.Politico, for instance, was slammed on social media for declaring that Trump’s claim that'one in three women is sexually assaulted on the long journey north' to America was only partly true — because it’s actually 31 percent.Politico’s GIF of the fact check was quickly 'ratioed,' getting way more negative comments than retweets or likes. Activist Obianuju Ekeocha responded with a women using a magnify glass captioned, 'Politico fact checkers desperately looking to find the difference between 31% and 1 in 3.'”

"Meanwhile, NPR touted a fact check that critiqued Trump for praising the record number of women in Congress simply because he didn’t mention that most of them are Democrats."

"In the end, the FBI’s own hackers had to bust their way into the San Bernardino attacker’s phone without Apple’s help.So, how exactly did we go from ‘Ferocious Response’ protecting the information of a dead jihadi who had murdered American Civilians to cheerfully handing over personal information of Roger Stone, a weird Right-wing eccentric and political activist?"

"However, the mayor of Dearborn today, John B. O’Reilly, Jr. (pictured above), wants to sugarcoat the unpleasant part of Ford’s biography dealing with his many anti-Semitic writings and pronouncements. Mayor O’Reilly decided to ban the distribution of a city-financed historical journal containing an unflattering article about Henry Ford’s record of anti-Semitism that the mayor deemed to be too much of a'distraction' for Dearborn’s 'diverse' population. He also severed the city’s ties with the editor of the publication and long-time Dearborn resident, Bill McGraw, who had written the article to educate Dearborn residents today regarding their hometown hero Ford’s 'dark sides.'”

"So, did Maddow rush back to her TV show to correct the record? Did she inform her mind-numbed audience that her oft repeated claim that the blocked number had to be the president’s number was now revealed to be the phone number of one of Junior’s business associates?"

"In fact, right after the news broke that the number was finally identified, Maddow was talking to her conspiracy theory buddy, Rep. Schiff, and neither one bothered to mention that their digit conspiracy theory was all washed up."

"CNN’s primary concern is that the melting glacier will flood the world, including their television studios. How big is this 'massive cavity'?It’s just a small hole within a glacier the size of Florida. Manhattan is about 23 square miles, so a hole two thirds the size of Manhattan would be almost 16 square miles. Yes, a hole is three dimensional and surface area is two dimensional, but I’m simply trying to create perspective."

"First, 'The Thwaites Glacier is largely based well below sea level, as is the case for large parts of the West Antarctic ice shield.' This means that the glacier has already displaced water equivalent to its weight, if floating on the water, or its volume if still attached to the land. This is why an ice cube in a glass of water doesn’t raise the water level in the glass as it melts."
